The Rockbox Theater in Fredericksburg, Texas is proud to present a live concert by Ray Wylie Hubbard and special guest Kelley Mickwee. Ray Wylie Hubbard is the secret handshake amongst those who know. Earthy, real, funky, unabashed, his records have been swapped and played on the road by everyone from Blackberry Smoke and Georgia Satellites to Black Stone Cherry. “Snake Farm” alone could be the red-blooded touring male’s reality-based point of connection.
That passion for the man who’s as much a renegade poet as a roadhouse saint brought together an eclectic mix of guests for Co-Starring, his first ever high-profile label release. Ringo Starr, Joe Walsh, the Black Crowes’ Chris Robinson, Ronnie Dunn, Don Was, Larkin Poe, Pam Tillis and The Cadillac Three were just a few who clamored to jam, sing and generally be in the studio with the wizened icon.
The Austin Music and Eric Church-inducted Texas Heritage Songwriters Hall of Famer was born in Soper, Oklahoma, went to high school with cosmic cowboy Michael Martin Murphey and spent his summers playing folk music in Red River, New Mexico. It all added to an iconoclastic, hell-bent for truths and textures in writing about the way outlaws live – and added to his outlier bona fides that he made 16 albums without ever signing to a major label.
That’s all about to change for the go-to songwriter for Lucinda Williams, Hayes Carll, Pat
Green, Jerry Jeff Walker, Waylon Jennings, Slaid Cleaves and Willie Nelson. Whether it’s
bluegrass/folk legend Peter Rowan on the tender “Hummingbird,” emerging Nashville
renegade Ashley McBryde on the tough girl homage “Outlaw Blood,” SiriusXM femme
fatales Paula Nelson and Elizabeth Cook on the randy “Drink ‘Til I See Double” or the
trippy rocker Aaron Lee Tasjan on the elegiac “Rock Gods,” Co-Starring is a supple, musky affair.
This is another in our Original Artist Series that is new to the Rockbox Theater, where we turn our great theater into an intimate listening room experience. These are original artists, singing their own great music! We hope you enjoy them as much as we do.
Doors open at 7pm and cocktails will be available throughout the show.
